• Current and past support: Booster Club $50 per student
• Recommendation for 2020: Booster Club give additional $50 per student

• Booster club has already paid $50 per student up to 50 students to school.
• Since the school has surplus monies from the Booster Club that was for the in-season Rozy that was not able to be held, the school can cover up to 50 students without receiving additional money. Tim Lawrence made a motion to fund up to 75 athletes, an additional $50 per athlete, to max of $3750. Dawn seconds.
